Please get and use the most recent version of pca. Since a change on 
SunSolve in August, patch downloads are only possible via HTTPS anymore. 
In your output, pca tries to download the patch via HTTP. This won't 
work, and a recent version of pca won't even try that.

You seem to have set pca's wgetproxy to "http://10.162.69.230". wget 
expects a hostname, not a URL, so use "10.162.69.230" instead. I don't 
know whether that causes problems or if wget just ignores the "http://".

As HTTPS will be used for patch downloads, you must make sure that your 
wget binary (and your proxy) have SSL support. Try "wget 
https://sunsolve.sun.com" for a test.

Hope that helps,

Martin.
